THIS IS HOW IT’S GONNA BE

You left the door wide open
All I see are tail-lights flying down the drive
This is how it’s gonna be now that you’re gone, I’m alone inside
This ain’t no place for angels
There was no heaven here with me
And the silence reminds me ‘bout how it’s gonna be

This is how it’s gonna be…
When I wake up in the morning
This is how it’s gonna be…
When I got to bed at night
This is how it’s gonna be…
Only shadows and darkness when I’m begging for light
This is how it’s gonna be…

You left the water boiling
All I hear is the teapot’s whistle in my ear
This is how it’s gonna be now that you’re gone, I’m the only one here
This ain’t no place for dreamers
I see no future here with me
And the silence reminds me ‘bout how it’s gonna be

This is how it’s gonna be…
When I wake up in the morning
This is how it’s gonna be…
When I got to bed at night
This is how it’s gonna be…
Only shadows and darkness when I’m begging for light

If I ever lied again you told me
Tail-lights would fly away from me
And now that you’re gone, I know this is how it’s gonna be

This is how it’s gonna be…
When I wake up in the morning
This is how it’s gonna be…
When I got to bed at night
This is how it’s gonna be…
Only shadows and darkness when I’m begging for light
This is how it’s gonna be…
This is how it’s gonna be…

This is how it’s gonna be…
This is how it’s gonna be…
This is how it’s gonna be…
